As there is no much happening this week, nothing better than watch the stacked last ONE's event for 2023 they upload not long ago.

Should actually listen to the Schiavello K-1 podcast. Not really been interested in the interviews so only listened to 1 ep so far.
Interesting if they're targeting Bosnia for an event in 2024. Maybe Ned Kuruc of K-1 Global fame is back? Or Dževad Poturak who promoted KOK events in Bosnia for a while?
Bulgaria could kinda make sense if there was some cooperation with Senshi at least. Otherwise would've just assumed Lithuania/Germany with KOK and/or Romania with DFS would've been the likely locations.

Abema broadcasting deal, more events with RISE and at least one of the GPs happening in Japan.
I dunno, just spitballing.

Think that is probably the gist of it. I do like the activity from Glory lately. They've been going around meeting with all kinds of people. At least they are trying again. Sometimes with Glory it's felt a bit like they didn't try as much as they are now. |

So they also held a press conference. RISE x Glory 8-man 65 kg tournament in December. They are also working on unifying Glory and RISE rankings and rulesets. Maybe a 70 kg tournament in the future. Maybe an additional weight class lower than 65 kg in Glory. Via google translate the last bit about a new lighter weight class felt kinda just pandering to the Japanese a little, but we'll see. Very nice things. |

Idk, translation just says near the ONE presser venue. Doesn't necessarily mean anything  |

On Tuesday ONE asked K-1 for a couple fighters. Carlos was down to cooperate, but he would've wanted ONE to send someone for the March tournament. ONE didn't respond to him so he tried going to meet Chatri at the presser but didn't get in. gonkaku.jp/articles/15911Also, apparently the March tournament is 70 kg and not 75 kg like was said on the K-1 podcast I believe. Or maybe Carlos just said MAX and the reporter assumed 70 kg ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

Fight Division launches new social platform to change the way fighters are valued and paidFight Division - News I launched a similar service back in 2001 with Cung Le, Wayne Parr, Tito Ortiz etc. signed up, but SoMe was nowhere near where it is today, and it didn't create the interest I was hoping for.
